I was a fan of Kbinauts, but then the zeitgeist moved super fast once that bird logo got introduced.

Then voting went up for a name for the lil birdie, and surprisingly Kibby came out on top, but alongside Kebin and Bink. The poll for that should still be up over in m/redditmigration I think.

Now that I think about it, I don't see our name as netizens arising from the name of the mascot, just like how at reddit no one called themselves a derivative of "snoo."

wait, what's wrong with kbinauts? I like kbinaut.

I like it too, but somehow kbinners got taken up, kbeans (ugh), and now this bird mascot's name is being thrown in the mix.

This thread from a couple of weeks ago (specifically for kbin users) attempted to answer the same question. 'Kbinauts' seems to be the favourite but personally I think 'Kbinners' ('KTrashcans' for the yanks) best.

KTrashcans for the yanks

haha. This is great. I'm aussie, but I'm gonna start calling us KTrashies

From that thread, Fedinauts might be my fave. Relatively instance agnostic and keeps that space age, optimistic federated future vibe going

I imagine if the kbin bird gets a name we'd follow along so either, Kibbies/Binks/Kebins?
